Sarahphina "Sarah" Ganilla

December 29, 1957 — March 14, 2024

In loving memory of Sarahphina Ganilla, a beloved Dispatcher for the San Carlos Police Department, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Born on a winter day in 1957 in San Carlos, Arizona, Sarahphina's journey came to a peaceful end on March 14, 2024, in Tucson, Arizona.

Sarahphina dedicated her career to serving her community with unwavering commitment and professionalism as a Dispatcher. Her invaluable contributions to ensuring the safety and well-being of others will forever be remembered and cherished by those she worked alongside and served.

Beyond her professional achievements, Sarahphina found joy and solace in the art of beadwork. Her intricate creations reflected not only her creativity but also her meticulous attention to detail and patience, qualities that defined her approach to both work and life.

As family and friends gather to honor Sarahphina's life, they will be met with moments reflective of who she was - a woman of grace, strength, and kindness.


The services celebrating her life will begin with a Visitation on March 21, 2024, at the family Residence in Bylas, Arizona. 

This will be followed by a Funeral Service on March 22, 2024, at the Lighthouse Assembly of God in Bylas. 

Finally, Sarahphina will be laid to rest in a solemn Interment ceremony at Bylas Central Heights later that same day.

Sarahphina leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion that will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her. She is survived by her grieving children; Carleatha Langley, Marlene Flores, Shaunna Flores, Jolanda Flores, Joseph Flores III, Rufus Ganilla III, and Ivan Lee Ganilla.  She is also survived by her sisters Veronica Ferreria Buck and Franda Sue Wright, 12 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Sarahphina waws preceded in death by her loving husband Rufus Ganilla Jr, her parents Zuella & Arthur Buck and her siblings Victoria Reyes and Victor Buck. 

May we carry forward the light she brought into our lives as we bid farewell to Sarahphina Ganilla - a beacon of strength and integrity, forever etched in our hearts.
